This privaleged location at the center of the isthmus provides El Salvador access to important markets in Latin America and the United States.

In addition, the capital city of San Salvador is equidistant (40 minute flight) to the capital cities of Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. This is a significant advantage considering that 70% of trade in the region concentrates in these four countries.

A representative of the El Salvador textile industry once pointed out: “The proximity of the market of the United States offers El Salvador a particular advantage over China, allows the production in regular cycles, and faster response to the demand than Asia”.
